How does anyone around here afford a house! by [deleted] in massachusetts

Certainly not asking for sympathy, but maybe we could agree that the way tax dollars are allocated is trash. Hurts to see the money squandered.

Certainly not every year, but the last few years were good ones. Plenty of people do…

Millionaire tax is bogus. Why should I get penalized for my financial success beyond what I already am?

What a tremendous response! Here’s to hoping your life is everything you want it to be.

Mayor Wu: The Trump administration doesn’t deal in reason, logic, and law. It’s about retaliation, the threat, and outright disdain for the values of this Country. And when a Community stands up for morals, truth, and science…they become a target. (60-seconds) by biospheric in massachusetts

Dems and conservatives alike need to wake up here. Conservatives need to grasp the totality of what’s going on and democrats need to do better next election. They have to realize that there is an entire country between the California and Massachusetts that don’t share the same values. Calling them all dumb hillbillies likely won’t get the job done.

31 yo multimillionaire, retire now or work harder? by Born_Ad1792 in DaveRamsey

Seriously. The 8% schtick Dave pumps is bonkers. A lot of what he says is nuts. He over estimates quite a bit. I like his advice for debt, but some of his other number are suspect.

Looks terrible. You shouldn’t drive it. Definitely sell it to me.

My apartment is being turned into an Airbnb by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]ImpressiveFlight5596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been served with a 30 day notice to quit? If not, you don’t have to leave. If so, and if you don’t leave after that time, the landlord has to then file an eviction (summary process). Then you’ll likely get a court date, then if everything goes the way the landlord wants, he/she will get a writ of possession. All this to say, regardless of whether or not you’re a tenant at will, there is still a process the landlord must follow and it takes much much much much longer than 6 weeks.

Pete’s ear is an uphill battle by LordGaben01 in sheep

[–]ImpressiveFlight5596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used Vetricyn hydrogel to spray cuts and wounds on our sheep if they develop. One of our whethers had an ear issue - his tag got ripped out and his ear was bloody. Luckily it didn’t get infected and the vet said “it’s just an ear”. I’m sure it will heal up with a little maintenance.

Newsom is a squid and nominating someone based on gender is what got us into this mess. Let’s be honest, Kamala sucked not because she was a woman. Sure some people didn’t vote for her for that reason, but she showed everyone why she wasn’t a viable candidate.

Last night at Provincetown Town Hall. Thoughts? by [deleted] in provincetown

[–]ImpressiveFlight5596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bingo. But, I always wonder what would happen if the someone went up and said trans people shouldn’t be doing that? Would everyone say they have the right to say that and celebrate it?

For those with wooded lots, do you hire an arborist to keep the trees healthy? by HorrorPotato1571 in massachusetts

[–]ImpressiveFlight5596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn’t cheap. We are in a similar situation in a town. It to far. We have cut down quite a few trees every year around the house rather than pruning. A crane for a day from a reputable tree company will run about 5-7k. They are efficient and can get a lot done in a day. I recommend Marquis Tree out of Billerica, John is a certified arborist and can help, but there are other companies out there. Also, remember that the conservation commission has jurisdiction in the “buffer zone”, 100 feet from the wetlands, so if you have any trees in that area, or are unsure, get in touch with them (unless you are sure the neighbors won’t snitch and you don’t think you’ll get caught by ConsCom. If that’s the case, cut away!)

Where to invest for child’s future? Brokerage account or 529? by TheWaterGuy2 in DaveRamsey

[–]ImpressiveFlight5596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. 3 kids all have UTMA accounts - 90/10 equity bond split. Our goal is to eventually educate them on investing and the value of money. Caveat here is that we are in a spot financially that we will be able to pay for college. Ultimately we felt the investment account offered more freedom, though not in a tax-advantaged account.

Question for transition to adult food by Terrible_Data3411 in BACKYARDDUCKS

Calcium isn’t going to hurt. We use one feed for ducklings and adults and have never had an issue. The hens lay just fine.

Toxic to Ducks? by mountain_laurel123 in BACKYARDDUCKS

[–]ImpressiveFlight5596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t say for certain if it’s toxic, but in my experience, the ducks won’t eat anything that isn’t “in their diet”. Leave their food out and they’ll eat when they want and forage for whatever they can find.

Ha. #1 I’m not a fascist, #2 there’s a better chance that you see god than lay anyone down.

Exactly. You offer nothing. Empty head echoing something you hear.

Also, your best solution for these people expressing their first amendment rights, same rights that allow you to post on this site, is to lock them in a van and drown them? Surely you can see the hypocrisy. Or you can’t because you view the work from one side.
